Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council procured demolition works at the former Morpeth Riverside Leisure Centre in Morpeth, Northumberland. The building had been disused as a leisure centre and was occasionally used by police for training. The work covered removal of any notifiable asbestos, internal soft stripping, remote demolition, and removal from site of hard materials and other debris for disposal. This is a construction and demolition requirement, delivered at the former leisure centre site in Morpeth.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to GROUNDWORK SERVICES (DURHAM) LTD. Northumberland County Council used a selective procedure to call off the work from a framework agreement. The award was made on 26 May 2026. The awarded contract value was £127,779.27. The contract period ran from 15 June to 14 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 4 May 2026 at 12 noon. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises; no evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process information.

This award demonstrates a requirement for a contractor able to manage demolition of a disused public building in Morpeth, including asbestos removal where notifiable, interior soft stripping, remote demolition and off-site disposal of demolition materials and debris. A credible competitor for similar work would need the capability to coordinate these activities safely and deliver the full scope as a single demolition project. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that this scale of work was delivered by an SME. The work was procured as a call-off from a framework, so suppliers seeking comparable council work would need a route onto relevant frameworks as well as the operational capacity to undertake demolition and associated clearance.
